Talk:Alistair McGowan

University of Leeds
The article seemed to have completely missed off the fact that he graduated from Leeds University in 1986. He's one of our famous alumni! BNC85 16:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Wimbledon
Did he really commentate at Wimbledon? He definitely appeared on the BBC's coverage of Wimbledon but all I saw of this was him perform a few dodgy tennis-themed impressions. I'd rather be cautious about removing the text about that in case he did actually commentate, but I certainly didn't hear it. Can anyone confirm whether or not he was a commentator at Wimbledon? Thanks, Llyntegid (talk) 20:04, 14 July 2011 (UTC)


 * He does not seem to have been part of the commentary team which is listed here: BBC line-up for the 125th Wimbledon Championships. As you say, he was mostly doing tennis themed impressions. Corotletha (talk) 10:09, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Ethnicity
Anglo-Indian does not mean of mixed parentage. That is a false assumption. Therefore the statement that his "father had an ethnically Anglo-Indian background" is incorrect.101.98.210.38 (talk) 04:45, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Anglo-Indian people fall into two different groups: those with mixed Indian and British ancestry, and people of British descent born or residing in India. See here: Anglo-Indians: Is their culture dying out? Corotletha (talk) 10:12, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
